STOP THE BLEED® kits come in three fixed configurations, contain only devices the program has reviewed and accepted, and can be sold only by companies licensed by the Department of War. Before you buy, check the name, the assembler, the seller, and the device labels. The full details are on the STOP THE BLEED® Equipment page.
For U.S. Navy veteran Joshua Chiarini, the importance of controlling severe bleeding is something he learned firsthand.

Every September, National Preparedness Month (NPM) reminds individuals, families, and communities across the country to take concrete steps toward emergency readiness before disaster strikes. Most people immediately think of hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes, or severe storms when they hear the word "preparedness." But true readiness has to go further than weather and natural disasters. It also means being ready to respond when someone's life is on the line because of a traumatic injury.
STOP THE BLEED® is an official program of the U.S. Department of War. The name and logo identify training and equipment held to a standard the department built over two decades of combat casualty care, and only licensed instructors, organizations, and companies may use them. That is the promise behind the brand whenever you see it.
